lyrics

I never meant to impose. I swear this is the last time I will. Please go pay respects to the man I never was. The man you'll never be. Please burn don't bury my body and forget why you cared. Never worth your grieving.
Never worth a bead of sweat. All I've earned is a distant surrender. Free from your humble affection. I'll seek out a shelter, and lie there in wait.The cold take my body, the air, the breath from my throat. My rational thought is that I'll burden you if I stick around to say goodbye. So I'll take advantage of fear with every brave impulse I own to get as far away from everyone I can. Because when it ends don't dare to think you owe me a thing. Here's to hoping you're happy. Here's to hoping you've triumphed. Here's hoping I'm more than just sorrow to bitter your nights. Here's hoping my flesh becomes empty cold steel, without a lament. Here's to hoping you feel nothing at all.
